Willow Tree Lodge
CQC ratings by category
Inspected 12 September 2017 · report published 18 October 2017What inspectors found
Willow Tree Lodge provides a small, personalized home environment for up to four adults living with learning disabilities and associated health needs. The latest inspection highlights a warm, supportive setting where residents are encouraged to build independence and enjoy active lifestyles. While the home currently operates without a permanent registered manager—with interim cover being successfully provided by the area manager and positive support coordinator—the daily operations, resident care, and staff morale remain stable, structured, and focused on continuous improvement.
Residents are protected by thorough staff recruitment, well-maintained risk assessments, and reliable medication management procedures, supported by sufficient staffing levels and an emergency cover system.
Staff receive proper inductions, regular training, and supervision, enabling them to understand mental capacity laws and deliver effective support tailored to individual needs and balanced nutrition.
Care is delivered by a consistent, long-standing team that treats residents with genuine kindness, dignity, and respect, while successfully encouraging them to pursue personal goals and new hobbies.
Support plans are detailed and highly personalized, ensuring that residents regularly engage in meaningful community activities, maintain family connections, and have access to clear feedback channels.
The home benefits from a transparent and organized management structure with robust electronic quality monitoring systems in place, though families should note the transition period as recruitment for a new permanent registered manager is underway.
